dovecot - Mar 2008 - Howto create maildir in lower case while user login via imap/pop3?

Hi, all.

I searched mail archives, but no result.

I use OutLook Express on Windows XP as MUA, login username is in upper case,
such as 'AAA at BBB.COM', when login via imap, dovecot create
directories:

/home/vmail/
        |- BBB.COM/         # <- Domain name
            |- AAA/         # <- User name
                |- cur/
                |- xxx

Here, domain name and user name are in upper case.

How can i make it create directories in lower case?

I fixed this situation, and sorry for the noise :(

Reference:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables#head-010a6461d783547686f70249e820fd6b83fd453e

%L - lowercase

So i set mail_location to:

mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/:INDEX=/%Lh/%Ld/%Ln/

It works.
